How to distinguish between Honda's internal and external circulation?

About the expansion of internal circulation in the car is as follows: 1. Internal circulation; When you press a button with an arrow inside the car, for vehicles where internal and external circulation is controlled by one button, pressing to light up this button turns on the internal circulation of the car. Internal circulation mainly prevents external dust and harmful gases from entering the car in a timely and effective manner, such as when driving through areas with smoke, dust, unpleasant odors, or in dense traffic, blocking harmful exhaust emissions from the vehicle in front. Its function is to maintain warmth. 2. External circulation: When you press the button with an arrow from outside the car entering the car, it turns on the external circulation. For vehicles where internal and external circulation is controlled by one button, turning off the indicator light of the internal and external circulation button also turns on the external circulation. Using external circulation allows you to breathe fresh air from outside the car. When driving on the highway for a long time, if you feel the air inside the car is stale and uncomfortable, and you cannot open the window, you should use the external circulation to let in some fresh air. In winter, if the warm air feels too hot, you can turn off the fan and open the external circulation, which maintains the temperature inside the car while providing fresh air, making you feel more comfortable.
Speaking of the air circulation modes in Honda cars, it's quite simple from personal experience. When I first started driving, I was also confused, but after discussing it more in the owner's group, I got the hang of it. On the air conditioning control panel, look for the buttons with icons: the recirculation mode usually has a small car model with an arrow circling inside. Press it, and when the light is on, it means it's recirculating the air inside the car, which is especially useful when using the AC in summer or encountering unpleasant odors like roadside barbecue stalls. The fresh air mode button has an arrow outside the car pointing inward, and when the light is on, it draws in fresh air, which is great for ventilation during long drives. In practice, I often use recirculation to avoid pollution, but I switch to fresh air mode on rainy days to prevent mustiness. I remember my first time trying it was on the highway, and now it's a habit to check the indicator light to know the current mode. If unsure, the manual has illustrations for reference. Overall, these designs are very user-friendly, and with a bit of practice, they become second nature.
